Great Thing
03:57
|
|||
It's bigger
than that giant purse... That Great Thing
Somewhere
on the universe... That Great Thing
It's there beside you, it couldn't be inside?
How could it be there if your'e under it's spell?
She swings
her hips from side to side
and sings... That Great Thing
She carries
tearing
version's of... That Great Thing
It stands beside you, it's too tall to stand inside you?
You pushed your cheek against it, when you cried every night.
There's no doubt
we thank our lucky stars about... That Great Thing
We keep a
private moment close... That Great Thing
It's there beside you, it couldn't be inside you?
How could it be there if your'e under it's spell?
It's bigger
than that giant purse... That Great Thing
Somewhere
on the universe... That Great Thing
She swings
her hips from side to side and sings... That Great Thing
She carries
tearing version's of... That Great Thing
It stands beside you, it's too tall to stand inside you?
You pushed your cheek against it, when you cried every night?
We're glad we got to play our part... That Great Thing
The praying soldier grants our time for... That Great Thing
It's there beside you, it couldn't be inside you?
How could it be there if your'e under it's spell?

Too Soon
02:46
|
|||
Too soon. Too soon.
You loved him deep inside,
but when he lied your trust just died.
Regret still burns his mind
because he needed, you.
He calls from time to time
you bruise cold and blind
you think he's crazy out of line
so you, refuse.
Too Soon. Too Soon.
He never really began
without you he can't end
lonely misshapen man
can't find a shore.
Did you give your mind to him
and those things you won't dismiss?
Where do you carry a chest like this,
with, hope gone wrong?
Too Soon. Too Soon.

Boredom
03:17
|
|||
Tide pull away all the things we realize we won't keep.
Own us a time in a nurture of repeating dream.
The car & the house can all blacken,
leaving only dust and junk.
All for a jungle's job and choosing
that only left me sad and blue.
Boredom Kills
I won't say it.
Wrong to say that we're weak when we work so hard,
trying to get by or emulating greed.
Can you see this bane that leads us,
if contentment's not enough.
Is there something else to chose
before history starts again?
Boredom Kills
Can you find you're way through the brier?
Can you move you mind for the search?
You better learn the art of the faithful?
Don't wait until your'e forced
because soon they'll start to weep?
and when it's finally gone
just where will you be?
Boredom Kills

When The Money's Gone
03:43
|
|||
If pain is not your teacher,
why is love so sold?
When poverty is your excuse,
why does wisdom never grow?
When neighbor's are the sinning kind,
why does your accusation show?
So clear to see what you're against,
& who you've never known.
When your money's all gone,
you can tell the children what you've done,
no secret's that strong,
because suffering's the only God,
can't you see the murder's all wrong,
the money stain's your soul,
you don't say, you don't know.
He took your tooth, you took his too.
Though the details go unspoke.
The motive for, his, consequence,
is not a gift you've ever known.
The price is paid and future's seen,
but the isolation shows.
How every man is separated
from the life he didn't know.
When your money's all gone,
you can tell the children what you've done,
no secret's that strong,
because suffering's the only God,
can't you see the murder's all wrong,
the money stained your soul,
you don't say, you don't know.
When the money's all gone,
you can tell the children what you've done.
When your money's all gone,
you can tell the children what you've done,
no secret's that strong,
because suffering's the only God,
can't you see the murder's all wrong,
& the money stain's your soul,
you don't say, you don't know.
When the money's all gone,
you can tell the children what you've done,
you don't say, you don't know.

Guarded Eyes
04:09
|
|||
Please don't leave me this way.
Your tears cloud the joy that should stay.
Girl I can't change the past.
I love you, love's all I want.
Strength hides your need but your wrong?
Trace my words,
my face returns.
I still remember guarded eyes,
a moments silhouette,
the promise in those eyes i saw
said we would meet again.
Your grace freed the hate in my mind,
stilled the judge, let me see, gave me time.
My body shakes
while my arms wait.
A vagrant hides in the night,
scared of the home he can't find.
He need a touch
a lovers mend,
can't you hear
the plea he sends?
I still remember guarded eyes,
a moments silhouette.
The promise in those eyes I saw
said we would meet again.
In your stare I realized,
pain you denied.
I need to hold you,
I'll always adore you,
you belong with me.
I still remember guarded eyes,
and a fated minuet.
I held you tight in a time sublime,
you are Andmoreagain.
I still remember guarded eyes,
and a silver silhouette.
The promise in your eyes I saw,
said I'll see your face again.

Keeping Me Alive
04:03
|
|||
You're keeping me alive. You're keeping me alive.
You're keeping me alive. You're keeping me alive.
You're keeping me alive. You're keeping me alive.
You're keeping me alive. You're keeping me alive.
All the other's just went by,
you saw my last remaining vital signs.
You grabbed the line I threw from the tower,
squeezed back life into this i.v.'s power.
You're keeping me alive. You're keeping me alive.
You're keeping me alive. You're keeping me alive.
You're keeping me alive. You're keeping me alive.
Without you I may die. You're keeping me alive.
Witty weapons like daggers and guns,
bullied my soul divided half the sun.
A nightmare in making will soon be yours.
Now! The absence of time, into the earth you'll fall.
You're keeping me alive. You're keeping me alive.
You're keeping me alive. You're keeping me alive.
You're keeping me alive. You're keeping me alive.
You're keeping me alive. You're keeping me alive.
You melted the grease upon my vertical plane,
threatened this evil with unending rain.
Begged for my life from nonsensical words,
punished the fight, for the fight it incurred.
But you're keeping me alive. You're keeping me alive.
You're keeping me alive. You're keeping me alive.
You're keeping me alive. You're keeping me alive.
You're keeping me alive. You're keeping me alive.

What She Wants To
02:28
|
|||
She's afraid to be weak,
so she's strong when speaks.
She's afraid to be loved,
for the past that she's lost.
She'll put herself out there,
though she hides if I'm aware
of what's in her eyes.
She learns what she has to
not what she wants to?
The pain's always forced her,
and she cries because it hurts.
She confuses a blank stare,
says you're not all really there?
If you know just what I need
why can't you see just what i see?
She turns her head away
because she know the things you say
won't stand in time.
She learns what she has to,
not what she wants to?
The pain's always forced her
and she cries because it hurts.
She puts herself out there,
though she hides when I'm aware,
of what's in her eyes.
She learns what she has to,
not what she wants to?
The pain's always forced her
and she cries because it hurts.

Hard World
02:40
|
|||
You found out tonight
what's old in your new life,
he didn't mean to make you cry
Then you let me in,
said I'm not happy here,
and so I gave you a ride.
It's a hard world,
you've got soft skin.
It's a hard world,
you've got soft skin.
In this,
hard world
you've got,
soft skin.
A little knowledge
is a dangerous thing
I pulled that day apart,
the rules when they applied
the right message
to a different meaning.
Hard world,
soft skin.
It's a
hard world,
soft skin.
In this hard world,
you've got soft skin.
It's a hard world,
you've got soft skin.
It's a hard world,
you've got soft skin.
Very softly speak,
how the world should be.
How can I explain?
Things are quite like that they seem!
Hard world, soft skin.
It's a hard world, soft skin.
In this hard world, you've got soft skin.
It's a hard world, you've got soft skin.
It's a hard world, you've got soft skin.

Bridge: G Bm D, G Bm A
Preacher and my girl
always put me at ease.
Make me fall asleep.
until I hear her slap that handle
down on the chair
on the arm
that's where I lay,
Preacher and my girl
always put me at ease.
Make me fall asleep.
until I hear the thunder
from a top the stage
and a sermon
becomes complete.
This day is going to be another new day
for people to find another new way.
Preacher and my girl
always put me at ease.
Make me fall asleep.
until I hear the thunder
from a top the stage
and a sermon
becomes complete.

Justice For The Martyrs
02:48
|
|||
I want justice.
I want justice now.
I want justice for the martyr's.
I want confession
from those who answered no
I want justice for the martyr's.
For all those
cramped in the cracks.
For all those
who couldn't swim back.
Victims. Generational critics,
& those invented
exactly what love isn't .
For all those
that couldn't own a touch
because of the mirror
and what they're afraid of.
Anyone that couldn't afford
to swallow their pride
and suffered evermore.
I want justice.
I want justice now.
I want justice for the martyr's.
I want confession
from those who answered no
I want justice for the martyr's.
I want justice.
I want justice now.
I want justice for the martyr's.
I want confession
from those who answered no
I want justice for the martyr's.
For the souls
found in tears,
hurting the loved ones
they hold most dear.
People where, destiny felled
a weight upon them, locked in fear.
Formed of hate, transformed from lies.
Chased by lust and seller's ties.
Couldn't escape, greed outside,
caring lonely humans, suffered & wise!
I want justice.
I want justice now.
I want justice for the martyr's.
I want justice.
I want justice now.
I want justice for the martyr's.
I want justice.
I want justice now.
I want justice for the martyr's.
I want justice.
I want justice now.
I want justice for the martyr's.
I want justice.
I want justice now.
I want justice for the martyr's.

She Answers

The gambler takes another shine,
she cannot wait for his win & demise.
She answers the night.
She answers the night.
She answers the night.
She answers the night.
Exit sky
through the steeple light
count's hands that have died
broken stones to blue light.
She answers the night
She answers the night
She answers the night
She answers the night

Missing Link Us Los Angeles, California
I handed a cassette to then Columbia Artist Walter Egan at The Lighthouse Cafe in Hermosa Beach, CA in 1985. Walter Egan proceeded to record & produce four song ep, receiving airplay on KROQ & college radio. A stronger vocalist was needed. Funding could not be obtained to entice the band members from pursuing other ambition in the; then; very strong business sector, where they remain to this day. ... more
